Gameplay

In Stretch Dungeon, the player can enlarge certain surfaces of each stage to guide a prisoner past obstacles. Points are granted based on the numbered markers that the prisoner passes through. Once the player reaches a certain amount of points, the prisoner is transferred to a next stage, with a change in environment as well as the hazards and interactive objects that appear. The presentation and order of the obstacles is randomised and changes when the player restarts a new playthrough.

Players have the option of unlocking shortcuts to start at the beginning of another stage. This requires that players will have passed the required number of checkpoints in the previous stage, as well as paying a certain amount of gems to make the shortcut accessible. Scoring will only count from the stage in which they start at.

Stages

Incomplete section

This section is incomplete. You can help by adding the missing info.
Needed: Description of each stage and the hazards encountered in the stage.

There are a total of four stages in Stretch Dungeon. Each stage has its own set of level designs, hazards and obstacles, though some components from previous stages may carry over to subsequent ones. Each stage will continue for a certain amount of points before leading the player to a pipe, which will take them to the next stage.

Although the player must pass the necessary number of markers to view the ending, players have the option of continuing the game after this point, cycling from the first stage again to the final endlessly until the prisoner dies or the player quits.
